Need Help Getting My Graphics Restored

[ladyofgallifrey]

I've been away from DW for a while and it seems in that time, Photobucket went on a warpath or something. My graphics are broken & I can't figure out how to fix 'em - especially my beautiful header (created by nisrin). Do I have to go "make nice" with Photobucket? All I have (aside from my DW hosted icons) are broken links.

I think Photobucket has been making it harder and harder to embed images hosted there in other places - there may be a way to get it to work, but it's probably easier to just upload them to Dreamwidth and change the file URLs.

I was able to get back into Photobucket with a free account and am now in the process of removing and saving my graphics uploaded there - once done will delete the free account.

I also was able to get my header to show up but am still having issues - need to find a CSS guru who can help me with my code to see where the strange "box" line is coming from.

Thank you for the help!

I can probably help with that - do you have a copy of the code?

Fixing my custom CSS

Thanks for offering to help!

Sorry for not replying sooner - had to finish up Spring semester (now on Summer break!) - whew!

Yes - I can send a copy of the code (written by nisrin) - I've done a couple things and at least my banner is showing up but there's that "box line" showing up and I haven't figured out which section is defining that border or box. Should I send it via private message?

I've tried to teach myself CSS but haven't touched it in a very long time (since before I started this grad degree program)

Life gets that way sometimes, no worries! PM is fine, or a link here - put the code itself on https://pastebin.com/ or similar, otherwise the html cleaners may eat some of it.

The short version is that you'll have to host them somewhere else - photobucket decided they were done with free hosting, and instituted a subscription model. (Well. They instituted it at an UNGODLY price, watched the web scream, and walked it back with a warning that they're going to walk forward again with a "more reasonable" fee.) momijizukamori's suggestion to upload them to DW, which now has native image hosting, is your best bet.

As I told momijizukamori in her comment, I did get back into Photobucket & will be getting everything out of there and uploaded to DW

Thank you!
